The fraud site e-a​ssistants.​org is a clone of the fraud site ez-transactions.com, mentioned on a previous post here:http://netscammers.blogspot.com/2011/07/ez-transactionscom-scam.html
The site is the latest in a series of scams, the previous I posted about here:http://netscammers.blogspot.com/2011/07/confidentatticsalecom-scam.html
I am assuming its the same scammers.
The scammers are now using their own nameserver.
It appears they purchased a VPS account from Santrex Internet Services Ltd.
The site is located on a server in France run by a company named OVH:

RW-Freight Delivery - Full Service Transportation Company
RW-Freight Delivery Company represents the highest quality and most reliable auto transport company in business today. Since 1984, RW-Freight Delivery Company has been meeting the auto shipping needs of individuals and businesses, both domestically and internationally.
RW-Freight Delivery Company is the largest and most trusted car transport company because RW-Freight Delivery Company operates a company owned fleet of high tech auto transport vehicles. RW-Freight Delivery Company is not a shipping broker-we handle almost all of our shipments from pickup to destination, something very few of our competitors can claim.
With a variety of different auto transport vehicles to choose from to meet almost any conceivable auto shipping request, a customer can choose to have their vehicle shipped in an enclosed truck, or delivered to the smallest side street on a flat-bed. RW-Freight Delivery Company offers the convenience of either door-to-door pick-up and delivery, or pick-up and delivery at one of over 85 terminal locations across the country. RW-Freight Delivery Company gives its customers a choice.
With many vehicle relocation companies, hidden fees and taxes can arise that are not quoted in the original price. With many auto transport companies, your deposit is not refundable. It is critically important to read the terms and conditions of the company you select for your auto shipping needs. RW-Freight Delivery Company offers a peace of mind hard to come by when dealing with auto transport companies.

The fraud site is hosted by:http://www.papaki.gr/en
The email address used to create the fraud account:m69.whitby@aol.com is an invalid email account therefore the domain registrar:
TUCOWS.COM CO
and the web hosting company papaki.gr
have failed to follow ICANN rules concerning domain registrations:http://wdprs.internic.net/
All accredited registrars have agreed with ICANN to obtain contact information from registrants, to provide it publicly by a Whois service, and to take reasonable steps to investigate and correct any reported inaccuracies in contact information for domain names registered through them.

"RE: SCAM WEBSITESA MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTORS

Unfortunately, we have, due to our high postioning on the search engines especially Google, become the target of fraudulent replica websites.

Whilst we are doing all we can to shut these down, primarilly by bringing legal action against the website hosts, they pop-up on a daily basis and without regulatorary help from the authorities we are unable to stop these scam websites completely.

Please note that this is the only genuine Westward Freight Ltd website (westwardfreight.com)

Please also note that we no longer ship vehicles of any nature as this seems to be the commodity that the scammers choose mostly to lure their victims, although recently we have seen an increase in Audio products as bait.

Usually we take part at the selling process by offering our complete escrow and shipping services. We are not just a regular escrow service, we have the infrastructure to conduct authorized pre-buy inspection on all type of vehicles.

There are a few situations that we currently handle:
- The seller and the buyer have already agreed and discussed regarding the transaction and they
want to use our escrow (with vehicle inspection) and shipping services; the funds are transferred to
the escrow account but the seller will be paid at the end of the transaction;
- You are a seller/buyer and you want to sell/buy a item; after analyzing your case we will present
our offer; usually the transaction takes place like in the case above;
- There are cases (in which the offer is too good) when we buy a vehicle directly from the seller; in
this case the seller is paid the same day.

1. After you agree to terms the transaction is started and the vehicle is picked up from the seller.
2. We conduct a full pre-buy inspection of the vehicle at one of our partner services. Both buyer and seller are informed about the inspection result.
3. If the vehicle is accepted by the buyer, then the buyer must send funds to our company for depositing into the escrow account. Once funds are cleared we start the shipping process. We have our own shipping company so the delays are as minimum as possible. You will be able to track your shipping online using the tracking number provided to see the current status of the shipment.
4. The buyer receives the vehicle and he gives his final accept on the transaction. The buyer takes the vehicle and all necessary papers are completed.
Our company takes full responsibility for the inspection results so if the vehicle is not as it was described then you can refuse the transaction and get a refund of your money.
5. The funds from the escrow account are transferred to the seller. You will receive the amount transferred by the buyer from which we will deduct the tax for the services used during the transaction.

Safe Exchange Program

Our Exchange Protection program assures third-party protection for your goods and money over an Internet-based transaction. It works by securing the Safe-Exchange
Deposit until the buyer receives, inspects and agrees the condition of the merchandise. The inspection period for safe exchange transactions can be chosen by you
from 2 and up to 15 days. .
The steps that the seller and the buyer have to proceed are detailed bellow:
The seller and the buyer fill the registration form on our website.
The seller posts the new transaction on our website for the buyer.
The buyer has to review and agree the posted transaction. Also it is possible for any part to modify the terms of the transaction, and, in this case, both parts must agree
the new terms.
Our team will review and approve the transaction. Otherwise, the transaction can be declined or the parts will be announced to modify some of the transaction terms. After
approval the sale members cannot modify the terms of the transaction. Also, if the transaction is approved the seller will be announced that he has to deliver the goods
to one of our warehouse locations and a payment document will be automatically issued on the buyer's name and sent to him via thr e-mail address provided upon
registration.
When the merchandise is received and reviewed by our agents a tracking status will be added in our Express Track database. Until the Safe-Exchange Deposit is
received for the issued payment document the merchandise will be kept secure in our warehouse.
When the Safe-Exchange Deposit is registered by our agents the merchandise will be sent to the buyer's address.
The transit process can be monitored by the sender or receiver by entering the proper tracking number on our Express Track section.
On package reception, the receiver will sign for the package that has arrived and the chosen inspection period will start. When the buyer confirms that the goods are
accepted, the on-field agent will issue a sale contract. For Safe-Exchange Deposits' values, that are lower than the transaction's price, a new payment document will be
issued for the remaining amount and we will forward the full payment to the seller. Otherwise, he can disagree with the condition of the goods (if the inspection period did
not end) and contact one of our agents, requesting a refund form. In this case the merchandise will be picked up from the buyer and sent back to the seller. The buyer
will be fully refunded. The seller will have to support the delivery fee to the specified destination and he will get back his merchandise. The shipping back funds will be
covered from the transport insurance included in the transport fee.

"Treat your MoneyPak number just like cash. Only use MoneyPak with approved partners and companies you know and trust. Never give the number to a private individual or to pay for items purchased from classified ads. This product is not a bank account and funds are not insured. Once you give the number and the money is sent, Green Dot cannot provide refunds."

These scammers want you to ship items to them that they have purchased using stolen credit cards.
You get the items sent to you, therefore you are the first persons who will take the fall for this scam.
You will be responsible for the losses.
